The fact that dumping too much CO2 into the atmosphere is a Bad Idea was equally well understood 17 years ago. And yet we *still* have Senators with snowballs denying it. > so here's my view: if you have some technical solution for a networking > problem that no one wants for 17 years, you should really probably think > about that. you might not even have to wait 17 years to figure out that > something might be wrong. See RFC1335. The problem was recognized back in 1992 - which is why the IETF chartered the whole IPng thing. Some of us recognized it would be less painful to get things working sooner rather than later - and some didn't. Now, if you want to be the Senator with the snowball, be my guest. It may make for interesting TV, but I can hardly recommend it as a busines model.
